Vegas... sore feet and no coins!

ok so now that you know about the Show we saw... here is an account of the rest of the time as far as I can remember it.

Monday, got there, had to wait for machine to get in my room where i was presenting and so i just took it myself, got my machines going and then went to meet diana.
We ate at Diegos, as she said she could eat mexican anytime and I got a 15% off with the conference there. After a filling meal we went to the casino and did some nickel slots and penny slots in hope of getting 1500 points so we could get two free tickets to KA... HAHA lol we earned 32 pts and then I just kind of said that will have to do.. we will have to do the 2 for 1 deal which she agreed was less expensive :)
We then walked over to the NYNY Casino and rode the roller coaster which was just a great ride.. I got to yell and Diana got squished :)

tuesday morning had to get up and go to Keynote... on my way there I picked up our KA tickets. Breakfast was scrambled eggs and meat and coffee... then the keynote and yes I was dozing in it. After the keynote I made my way back to the room. Mind you it was exactly 1 mile between my room and the conference area and i averaged 3 trips a day at the least. My feet had some old blisters from taking the dog for a long walk and I irrated them more by wearing sandles on the first 3 trips to the conference center on Monday. With that being said my feet were hating me... Diana also had turned off the tv during the night which made for me a bad sleep... lol I have to have noise and it was way to quiet. any way after a 3 hour nap I walked down to the food court with diana where we grabbed a slice of pizza and then I grabbed my badge and headed to a presentation that my boss wanted me to sit in on.

After that i walked back to the room where diana was dressed and had gone to walmart to obtain some allergy meds, bandaids and peanuts :) then we went down to the food area for some delicious Chinese. I mean it was really well made and Diana was thoroughly pleased with her Singapore Noodles and I loved my wonton soup and Spring rolls again 15% discount :).

afterwards we walked towards the KA theater and got there ready to relax and have a good time.. Diana had her night driving glasses and they really help to clear up the distance so I may have to see about getting my eyes checked as I was not seeing clear images and there were some sexy chests to see!!!!.

After the show she got some post cards and I got a shot glass then back to the floor where I tried my luck at 25 cent slots and didn't do to bad being up 4.40 right away.
Now for those that love Vegas and the sound of money dropping as people win well just forget the glory days of gambling to that sound as all the casinos are going computerized where you get TOKENS for your winnings... UGH so I lost my nights gambling amount as well.

Next day was my presentation... i had to go to the entire day as I was dressed in my Symantec gear and had to be seen. I sat in the keynote with my boss till we were bored we left to go check email and stuff back at work. After that I sat in a second session dealing with the same subject of Workflow and then snuck in the room for my presentation and starteed up my vmware machines during the lunch break. I then sat in the room listening to some information on the new Vpros from intel, just to make sure they didn't mess with my set up lol!
my presentation went good had a good crowd and it seemed that many were impressed by the results of the product in the new platform. who knows though... i could be wrong :)

After the presentation My boss had his so I sat in the back and listened to his.. afterwhich I left the conference never to see it again!

that night Diana and I decided to go to GERMAN food and the resturant the Hofbräuhaus after she found out that the Knight show at the Excalibur had horses LOL!
Her girlfriend said it was .8 miles away. she offered to drive and I said no no lets walk its not that far... HAHA any way for those who don't know that the girlfriend is TJ's GPS system and loves him she and I now have proof that it is really trying to kill all women in his life so she can have him to herself, as the thing has us go through the longest route and on a road next to the airport and homeless people's shanties. As we walked I kept looking over to where we had come from and noticed that there was probably a less desolate path to take lol.
Any way we got there safe and sound and were entertained by a oompa band and had Hofbräu Hefe Weizen which was very very good stuff, I had Cold Bavarian Cucumber Salad, and Majoram - Veal Bratwurst - Two delicately seasoned Veal Sausages grilled to perfection. Served with our famous Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas Red Cabbage and mashed potatoes - VERY VERY DELICIOUS!
Diana I talked into have Schnitzel (the size and shape of a baby elephant ear)Schnitzel Wiener Art - Classic Breaded Pork Cutlet served crisp and Golden Brown, so large that you might not find your plate. With Cranberries and homemade Bavarian Potato Salad.
We were enteretained by girls paddleing old men's butts and a good oompa band. Of course we were deaf and had to yell to communicate but it was really a fun time.

Well we actually were thinking of taking a cab back to the MGM but again I said its only .8 miles we can walk and we both needed it after that large meal, well we headed back down the road we had seen from the walk there and were doing good until we took a left turn into a parking lot back access route where two cab drivers yelled at us that we were dumb for walking and should have took a cab LOL.

Once back at the casino with our feet tired and bellies full I tried once more to win. ROULETTE (slots) I won 11 dollars right away and got impatient and missed out on winning another 35 dollars.. oh well.. Vegas is not for the faint of heart I guess LOL.

We have both decided that the TV in the MGM Grand is HORRID nothing on it except chinese, japenese, korean and Spanish channels along with the most boring channels offered in English. She taught me how to work in the Widget factory in Yoville and I farmed and then we just laid around complaining about the tv LOL.

woke up the next morning packed up, and the I followed her to a Diner she had seen on Food Network, She had a scrambeled egg boli and i had eggs with bacon. She said hers was really good and in fact it did look very good. She found us Gas for 2.07 and as we left I told her thanks for coming up to vegas to hang with me although i am sure she had terrible sleep since she likes no noise at all..

Well lets see I do have one picture of her infront of the Statue of Liberty on our walk to NY NY but I can neither confirm nor deny its her!
